Joan Laporta receives calls from opposing teams, agents and intermediaries on a frequent basis. FC Barcelona is one of the best clubs in Europe and the rest are planning to strengthening their players, even with the less important ones on the field. The president was surprised by the latest call he received. Villarreal is very interested in signing Ferran Torres.
El Nacional has discovered that Villarreal "has emerged as one of the main candidates" to take Ferran Torres soon. They've recently suffered the serious injury of Ilias, former Barcelona youth player. Marcelino has asked for a reinforcement of the same level. The coach has even reportedly given his approval to carry out this move provided the Valencian accepts.
Villarreal is offering Ferran Torres a place where he can be important and boost his career once again . He is a player who has fallen on hard times and this season hasn't had the confidence of Flick, who would let him leave without any problem. The idea, at the moment, would be to loan him out for the rest of the season, although a permanent transfer is not ruled out if the economic conditions allow it.
At 24, Ferran Torres believes he needs to play and wouldn't be against a change of scenery. In this sense, Villarreal is one of the best Spanish teams this season and it's an option that doesn't displease him. He considers it a virtually perfect scenario to be able to relaunch his career, which has been on decline since his unexpected arrival at Barça.
Hansi Flick Accepts Ferran Torres's Departure but Sets One Condition: Laporta Already Knows
If Ferran Torres does end up leaving, Hansi Flick doesn't want to be left without anyone in the position. He's given the green light to a possible move to Villarreal, but has asked for a transfer in his place.
Hansi Flick wants a reliable replacement for his forwards. He believes that if Ferran Torres leaves, he won't have one in the squad. He's been clear about the name of the player he wants, asking again for the transfer of Leroy Sané. He was his pupil at Bayern and he wants to have him back at Barça.
They have an excellent relationship and, in fact, Leroy Sané has given him the OK to wear the Barça jersey. It's an experience he would like to try after having developed his career between Germany and England.
